In recent years in Japan, spirits distilled from barley, sweet potatoes, or sesame, called sho-chu in Japanese, have gained enormous popularity among drinkers.  Keeping abreast of this growing trend, Koji Kamada introduces this distinctive rocks glass, done in yuteki tenmoku.

Peering inside gives the impression that one is standing on a hilltop at midnight watching the star-filled sky.  Technically, these are spots of iron oxide (sometimes called "oil spots") which form on the surface of the glaze while cooling in the kiln.  A small amount of cobalt adds mysterious hints of blue.

For sho-chu, whiskey, or any beverage on the rocks.

See Koji Kamada's 40th Year Commemorative Exhibition for more works from his 2008 collection.
